I see some packages have, e.g.
$ apt-cache show flowscan
Depends: flow-tools ...
Recommends: flow-tools
Maybe some checks should be added against this.

Not to mention

trofast:~$ apt-cache show libnautilus2-2 | grep Depends
Depends: [...] libnautilus2-2 (>= 2.4.2) [...]

There are some other examples of this, but I believe the correct thing to do
would be filing a bug against lintian or linda to add such a check. :-)
